Speaker 3: you know, worth more than five bucks.
Speaker 5: Every episode of Antiques Roto has a cam on there
Speaker 5: taking in something they think is highly valuable, and it's.
Speaker 3: Great when it's normally an elderly person who thinks they're
Speaker 3: going to get some big cash payout worth millions, right,
Speaker 3: they've probably hear marked a couple of properties that they're
Speaker 3: going to be buying up new cast of this, and
Speaker 3: then the value essentially goes afraid to say that actually
Speaker 3: this is very cheap and worthless, and they go, I
Speaker 3: want the camera to zoom in because actually, okay.
Speaker 2: Well I actually thought yeah, yeah, yeah. It was savage family.
Speaker 3: Really you could see their whole future they had planned
Speaker 3: out just collapse in front their eyes.
Speaker 5: When I was in highest school, one of my best
Speaker 5: buddies his grandpa's how they passed away, and in his
Speaker 5: stuff they found this artwork and relatives were saying, hey,
Speaker 5: you should get that valued because this sky Turner his
Speaker 5: name was, is a highly prized artist and that could
Speaker 5: be worth the money. Anyway, they're talking to different experts
Speaker 5: and there's a lot of chatter about they could become
Speaker 5: overnight million.
Speaker 3: They thought it was a Turner they had he was
Speaker 3: one of the most famous English.

Speaker 5: I'll be getting about maybe twenty or thirty percent, And
Speaker 5: of course I'll look after you guys in the playground,
Speaker 5: the crew. I actually remember having discussions with him about
Speaker 5: how we were going to spend the money and how
Speaker 5: much individually would inspect to inherit from his grandpa. Of course,
Speaker 5: when they finally got it valued, it wasn't a real
Speaker 5: turner and they had no money. But I remember fore,
Speaker 5: you know, a good two or three days they're thinking, I'm.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm coming into some money here.
Speaker 2: My friend has a turner.
Speaker 3: That's there used to be a TV show and I'm
Speaker 3: sure so as this now where it was people rummaging
Speaker 3: around to see if they might have some you know,
Speaker 3: multimillion dollar airloom around the house.
